Get a Sense of Humor Already!

Very recently, I was talking to some friends and made a stupid joke. The type I make on a near constant basis and one of the people listening found the joke to be offensive and quickly told me it wasn't funny. The joke was something about blaming alcohol for anything wrong you ever do. I stated that I got out of three arson cases and a kidnapping using that defense. My reasoning leads me to believe that one of those two subjects is a sensitive one for that person. Which leads me to say...

Get a damn sense of humor already! There is no subject in the entire world that should be off limits to humor or comedy. There are some truly terrible things that happen in this world. If all you do is brood in the bad things that have happened to you, you stay locked in that moment for your entire life. You need to learn to lighten up and not relate any particular mention of a subject to your life and immediately become defensive when it comes up.

My Father is dead. A frequent joke back and forth with a friend of mine is for me to crack a silly joke about her, and her trump card is, "So what? Your Dad is dead." Do I find that offensive or hurtful at all? Absolutely not. Because I've made peace with that fact and I can take myself out of the tragedy of the experience and channel it into a fun conversation with my friend.

I was abused as a child. Perhaps not physically, but in every other way that you can be. However, I've also made peace with that a long time ago and have no problems making silly jokes about beating up my friends or putting their screaming babies into a cat carrier. And they take no offense to it, because they know it's a joke and something I would never do.

Please try and disassociate yourself from trigger words of bad things that have happened to you or someone you care about. Don't punish yourself and live in agony over one particular subject that might come up at any point in the future.

In the immortal words of Christopher Titus (and probably many many others): "Climb down off the cross, use the wood to build a bridge and get over it."

Sorry for the depressing post. I'm working on some really funny stuff that should be up in a couple days. Well, at least I find it funny. You all will probably hate it. But oh well. As long as you read it, I still get page views which boosts my mediocre ego semi-higher.

MAC Vs. PC War Settled

They basically do the exact same shit. Buy whichever one you like better. War=Over. Thank you.

talk to type testing

in this particular blog post, I am attempting to write the entire thing without using my keyboard whatsoever. I just downloaded the new voice recognition program to see how well it would function. So far I am very impressed with what it can do. I believe long ago that this technology was abandoned because of its limitations and no one ever figured out how to properly use the technology.

I can say simple things as telling it to put in. Or,. As you can tell from that last sentence particular punctuation marks when you try to say them aloud puts the actual punctuation mark on the text, instead of actually spelling out the words. So, if I plan to use this program in the future for any potential writing, I will have to end up doing some editingbut overall this is then very easy to type"

It also does really neat things like moving to the next block of words that I cannot say because it will obviously do as it is told. I'll be using this program in the future to see how well this will help my writing. However, I can tell already that I am a lot more articulate well typing than I am while talking.

Thanks for reading this test blog post. It's been very interesting and I look forward to using it again in the future, albeit with some editing.
